What did i say to you? Are You making a comment there is no difference between the Terrorist and our government? See the difference is our government doesn't TARGET civilians. Terrorist DO.

What about those dozen or so people the US army lined up in the targets of their guns and blew to bits in Baghdad?
They were all civilians, two were Reuters staff, two were children.

Of course we only know what was leaked, there are likely many more killings we don't know about. This shows a clear intent to murder civilians.

Looks like we gotta kill 2k more to get even. Its like we all forgot that 11 years ago they gave us the biggest fuck you ever. I say burn em all

The people that flew the planes into the buildings are already dead. Before they attacked you they made the decision that they would be willing to die if it meant striking back at their perceived oppressor, the US.

While the US is killing random targets they are creating more and more potential terrorists who will go to greater and greater extremes to get revenge.

If the US stops killing people today it will have less terrorists to deal with in the next 30 or so years.

there have been multiple instances of the US bombing weddings in Afghanistan.

Generally due to retarded people firing automatic weapons into the air.

Guns aren't toys, and if you act like they are you fucking well deserve to be shot.

But these people are not shot, they are blown to bits along with everyone else within about 100 meters. That's a grossly excessive response to some loonies firing guns at empty airspace. Besides, not all the weddings that got bombed were due to loonies firing guns in the air.

Weddings are a big deal in these cultures. China doesn't bomb you whenever you hold a BBQ for friends and family do they?

what will happen when military tech hits the civilian world?

It does already, and as long as it keeps doing it in Muslim countries I'm all for it.

And if you run out of resources before you kill everyone else? US military spending is unsustainable and pushing the national debt to insane levels. High tech comes at a high cost and brain implants are not going to change that.

It's not so much "ways of killing people" as it is "ways of making sure no one else can wantonly kill or subjugate you".

And maybe grabbing all the oil and installing a puppet government while you are at it. Face it, it's "ways of killing people" to justify military spending the can't be paid for while more important things get no funding whatsoever.

The idea was that, at some point and after enough mods, you become distanced from your own humanness and humanity itself; at what point do you become a cyborg and no longer human?

A single functional implant makes you a cyborg as long as that implant has some synthetic electrical component.

That takes a spectacular level of incompetence.

Don't forget the corruption too! 10 police look for one stolen kids iphone while how many other more serious crimes got ignored?

Whoever ordered these 10 cops to go waste time the state is paying for should be disciplined for corruption. Using company resources for personal reasons is at best corruption and at worst theft.

What would Warren Buffet do?

He would never have got involved in facebook in the first place. It's not an understandable investment, it's not a safe investment, it's strongly overvalued and although google+ was a failure the next thing might not be.

I suspect the great majority of people who brought facebook shares really should not be buying shares at all. They are the wreckless investors who lose all their money in the long term.

I run Linux and OpenBSD and software with GPL, BSD, or other free licences for all my personal stuff. I have everything I need and more for free.

On the other hand at work we often get people asking us to save a few hundred by buying Windows student edition or wanting to install software on multiple machines when we have licensed it for only one. I won't do it, we either pay for the correct license or we don't use it. It's one thing for a home user to rip off some software but companies never should.
